Version Control across different AD domains

mkav09 — Fri, 20 Jun 2014 01:19:22 GMT

Hi All,

Is it possible to manage software\firmware using Version Control across different AD domains?

Servers in the same domain can see the basline name in the VC Agent settings. But servers in another domain can only see the .xml file name in the basline name field.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

PS: I will upload screenshots soon.

Hello there,

I've been using the VCRM on the SIM server for more that 5 domains. Is the SMH and agents runnign fine on the machine you run your VCA on ? And if you could please add a screenshot of the screen you use.

Kind regards,

Andrew

I have the same issue. I have setup HP VCRM 7.3 (Win2012R2) in one non-trusted AD domain, but VCA 7.x (SUSE Linxu ES 11, connecting to another non-trusted AD domain) can't connect to it. SNMP is setup correctly. The VCA can get to older HP SIM 5.3 (Win2003) in the same domain as VCA for VC, but not to the new one in other domain.

Getting error: The specified repositoy, VCRM server, is invalid or not reachable.

I have the certificate of the trusted managment server (VCRM) under the trusted management servers and also tried using the username/password of VCRM. Both gave this error. I have the trusted mode to trusted by certificate.

What is needed to get VCA's in other domains to access this new VCRM?

Thank you for assistance.

Hello there,

As said earlier I use the VCRM in multiple domains. In the vca I've configured the credentials for the domain the SIM server is located in. The credentials are domainname\vcrmuser.

You could try the credentials if you connect to \\simserver.fqdn\d$, and see if that works. The user connecting to the VCRM should be local admin on the SIM server. You also could try the https://simserver:2381 to see if you can connect to the SIM server. The vca uses the 2381 port to connect to the VCRM.

Hope the helps, if not let us know...

Kind regards,

Andrew

Thank you Andrew for quick response!

We were able to finally get it working - only as root (SUSE Linux) logging into HP SMH & using VCA to connect to VCRM only locally from SUSE server.

I had setup a local account that was part of hpsmh group on SUSE, and it had all the privileges to access HP SMH & VCA, but not connect to VCRM (doing this all remotely from https://SUSEserver:2381). Even root privs did not work remotely. Not sure why remotely does not work.

Thank you
